This was my first week back home. I will admit that I am not back into the swing of things yet. Mentally, practically or emotionally. My routine is still out of sorts. And the next two weeks won’t help because the kids have back to back spring breaks. But I am getting slowly better each day and trying to give myself space and time to heal. I also want to say I have gotten so behind in emails and comments that it’s become embarrassing but I just cannot get myself to sit and go through. If you’ve emailed me, I want you to know I deeply appreciate your kind words and please don’t take my lack of response as a lack of care. I am just trying to take some space.
with that, here are some highlights from last week:
For about six minutes, the kids were allowed to play this game where they ran from the other room and fell on the couch. They loved it so much that I had to let them do it but just two times.
here’s the little boy imitating his brother.
David’s front teeth are all crooked because the big ones are coming but the baby teeth are still hanging on. It’s been this way for weeks now.
i love these photos of Jake and Nathaniel reading together.
and laughing.
Jake’s parents were here last weekend and brought David a Thomas puzzle. Which he loved.
And David got Monopoly.
which they sat down to play immediately.
while Nathaniel did and undid his puzzle.
he’s very into noises and makes this each time he hears an unexpected noise.
my beautiful boy.
There was some shooting.
Which came with a lot of noise.
David fell down.
But then rose to shoot right back.
There was also sticker-time.
which Nathaniel loves.
This is his “don’t take my picture” face.
He loves to play with tiny little things and I love how he smiles knowing I am taking his photo but won’t look at me.
but of course he can’t resist.
Then we had some fun with the bowls.
I just love these photos.
he kept telling me to take his picture. I love when he does that.
The boys went to the library with their daddy and checked out a bunch of books. Nathaniel wanted a Star Wars book just for himself.
Here he’s saying “tar wars” (that’s what he calls star wars).
Nathaniel had just woken up when we took our family photos.
he didn’t want to laugh during tickle-time.
but we got him to anyway.
which was the best way to end my week.
and here we go. Here’s to hoping things keep getting better.
